Ok - I finally got this thing working somehow. With lots of help added the right lines to /etc/rc.conf and now I can surf along swell ... Remaining trouble is that when I try to ssh out to my email account at burningclown.com, I get looped back to my own machine and log into myself! So I will, erm, work on -that-. Thanks to everyone on the list for the support and tips and patience. Once I get it -all- working I will post more thoughts on what I may have been doing wrong (apart from staring blindly, editing blindly and getting a big headache) in hopes that it might help some other hapless soul some day. :) Glenn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
